DTC P0340

CMP sensor circuit problem

DETECTION CONDITION

• The PCM monitors the input voltage from the CMP sensor when the engine is running. If the PCM does not receive the input voltage from the CMP sensor while the PCM receives the input signal from the CKP sensor, the PCM determines that the CMP sensor circuit has a malfunction.

• If a malfunction is detected in the input pulse pattern from the CMP sensor.

Diagnostic support note

• This is a continuous monitor (CCM).

• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.

• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition.

• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.

• The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.

• CMP sensor malfunction

• Connector or terminal malfunction

• CMP sensor pulse wheel malfunction

• CMP sensor misinstallation

• Timing chain misinstallation

• Loose timing chain or improper valve timing

• Loose camshaft sprocket lock bolt

• Loose crankshaft pulley lock bolt

• PCM malfunction

• Is there any voltage?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Go to step 10.

4

• Verify that the CMP sensor connector is connected securely.

• Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Reconnect the connector, then go to Step 15.

5

• Turn the ignition switch off.

• Disconnect the CMP sensor connector.

• Turn ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off)

• Measure the voltage between the following terminals:

• CMP sensor terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground

• Is the voltage B+?

Yes

Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness, then go to Step 15.

No

Go to the next step.

6

• Inspect for continuity between the following terminal and body ground:

• CMP sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side)

• CMP sensor terminal C (wiring harness-side)

• Is there continuity?

Yes

Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness, then go to Step 15.

No

Go to the next step.

7

• Inspect for continuity between CMP sensor terminals B and C (wiring harness-side).

• Is there continuity?

Yes

Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness, then go to Step 15.

No

Go to the next step.

8

• Disconnect the PCM connector.

• Inspect for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.).

• Is there any malfunction?

Yes

Repair the terminal, then go to Step 15.

No

Go to the next step.

9

• Inspect for continuity between the following circuits:

• CMP sensor terminal A (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 2P (wiring harness-side)

• CMP sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 2S (wiring harness-side)

• CMP sensor terminal C (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 2AM (wiring harness-side)

• Is there continuity?

Yes

Go to Step 11.

No

Repair or replace the suspected wiring harness, then go to Step 15.

10

• Turn the ignition switch off.

• Perform the CMP sensor inspection.

  (See CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR INSPECTION [LF].)

• Is the CMP sensor normal?

Yes

Go to the Step 15.

No

Replace the CMP sensor and go to Step 15.

(See CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)

11

• Verify the CMP sensor installation.

  (See CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)

• Is the CMP sensor installed correctly?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Reinstall the CMP sensor and go to Step 15.

12

• Verify the valve timing mechanism installation for the following parts:

• Timing chain misinstallation

• Loose camshaft sprocket lock bolt

• Loose crankshaft pulley lock bolt

• Is the valve timing mechanism installed correctly?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Reinstall the following parts and go to Step 15.

• Timing chain

• Camshaft sprocket

• Crankshaft pulley

13

• Remove the timing chain.

• Inspect the stopper pin.

  (See VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR INSPECTION [LF].)

• Is the stopper pin mechanism normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the variable valve timing actuator, then go to Step 15.

(See VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)

14

• Remove the variable valve timing actuator.

  (See VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)

• Is the rotor position at the maximum valve timing retard?

Yes

NOTE:

• This DTC is detected as an intermittent concern.

• The intermittent concern might be removed by cleaning the variable valve timing mode control function.

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the variable valve timing actuator, then go to the next step.

(See VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)

15

• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
